I decided that I like the backs of things more than the fronts of things. Also, I appreciate Topshop’s long-standing appreciaton of the exposed zipper. Just got to NY today and am stoked to tell you guys that I’ll be in the Rebecca Minkoff presentation on Sunday! She’s designed a dress inspired by me and I can’t wait to try it on at the fitting tomorrow and meet everyone. In addition I’ll be speaking at the IFB conference tomorrow (well, today at this point) on the subject of creating content and blogging in general – let me know specific questions you have on the matter that you’d like to hear me elaborate on cause the plan right now is looking terrifyingly improv.

So many times I’ve stared at the sunset from this spot..the field and collection of dirt patches overlook a sheer rock face rising 300 feet above the ocean. Basically the perfect vantage point to see the last of the daylight and just kind of sit quietly or yell for no reason. I always look for the green flash that’s supposed to be visible before the sun completely disappears but have never actually seen it. I’m about to stop believing in it entirely but I probably won’t ever stop looking..

Clothing-wise, I predict I’ll be living semi-exclusively in this coat this autumn..never mind the fact that I have about 3000 times more outerwear than any Southern California resident should ever own. And I just added another vintage one to the collection..a gray blanket-y cape with a Nordic knit collar and horned buttons..felt good to go thrifting again.

The Cheap Monday show was dramatically stormy and right on the water..such a cool venue. We got there early and killed time documenting our..bags. Mine looks a little Derelicte next to his huh. Wearing a Topshop leopard coat (love the shortened sleeves on the petite sizes) I ordered last month, Bryan‘s Chanel, and Jeffrey Campbell motorcycle boots.

July 11-15

Late night sushi, wet streets, layered necklaces, Rick Owens at Joan Shepp, Di Bruno Bros. iced coffee, wandering UO’s headquarters, my favorite tshirt, picnics in bed, drinks at the crypt-like Franklin, wispy knits, dinners with the Free People crew, weathered buildings, and airport sunrises and sunsets.
